This is great cataloguing of my island. Now I have work to do in visiting these places. Thanx Irina! Ive seen other vloggers (black) who visited eastern Europe where youre from and did tours that the natives there were not aware of. I guess the reality is that most of us take our locales for granted while others indulge in it.

[@sharonhewitt3498]

Thanks Irina and welcome to my beautiful country!!

[@angieD9674]

At last someone taking a great interest in JA, yes JA is beautiful if you just give it a chance 🏝👌🏽💕👍🏽

@@globallibran378 yes, very well said and exactly my point! Ask me anything about Ukraine - chances are - I will have no idea! 🤦‍♀️😂😂

[@globallibran378]

@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE lol...funny how that works. Years ago when i lived there and worked in Mobay i met a person from Montreal whose title was destination coordinator/supervisor. Their job was to provide landing info to Canadian and French speakers and guide them safely on to tours and events. You being from that background could usher in visitors from eastern Europe as you speak their language. They may like it a lot too boosting tourism and creating your own niche business. Plus as you said no one is presenting those historic sites to international tourists. You could carve out 10 such tours and have several of your JUTA or taxi friends make new income from otherwise unsold tours...thank me later..lol

[@christinaz.3885]

My heart skipped a couple beats when they swam in Black River - crocodiles in that water!

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

Aww :) Thank you! Well, these crocodiles had a lot of chicken to eat before I went into the water, so.. they were not as hungry anymore!

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

@Beverley Hohn Chang ok, thank you.

[@courtneyvirgo5845]

I swam in black river water as well. Its something u can do.lol...

[@globallibran378]

@Beverley Hohn Chang I've seen you post on other vlogs and youre usually pretty fired up there as well. My suggestion is since this lady has done a fabulous job of highlighting our coutry's unknown or under-discussed areas, why not start a vlog doing what you asked her. Your name speaks to that lineage and it would be great for us to know aboit indeed I am also loving Tami Chin and Wayne's (Meet The Mitchells)MTM and her dad scratched the sutface of the Chinese Jamaican life ,unknown to many othet Jamaicans including myself. I guess in a nutshell don't cuss a well meaning vlogger who clearly is putting in extraordinary work to highlight JA. Thank her and ASK if she could look into that. Neither you nor I pay vloggers so i am thankful for whatever content they are providing ESPECIALLY in Covid times. Also go easy on the CAPS...One Love to you as well!

[@ammasown1]

@Christina Z My thoughts exactly! You see the size of that crocodile??? All Jamaicans know Black River is full of alligators and crocodiles, these people see them and then jump right in.... No sah!!!

[@cleverB634]

I was born in Jamaica, but u have opened my eyes so much about its beauty and what it has to offer... you are making me home sick

[@ihatesugar2530]

wow, that was the most enjoyable 21 minute video i've watched in a while.

[@jamdawgutube]

WOW!!!! I'm genuinely impressed with this production. I know this takes a lot of time to put together. The Jamaican government should employ you to do tourism marketing- or marketing for Jamaica in general. It is not as conventional as what you normally see on KZbin. I hope your channel gets more subscribers. Try to use certain video titles, like the one you used for this video, to get viewers' attention. I am glad I get to see your videos before your subscription reaches thousands (don't worry. It will. It just takes hard work and dedication). I am a Jamaican who lives in New York City and this video convinces me to visit Jamaica.

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

Aww, thank you! Such feedback is amazing and I'm glad you found the video useful! Yes, the idea is to make people want to come and visit Jamaica by showing how amazing the place really is, because so many things go unnoticed and people don't even realize they exist. And yes, creating these videos takes time and effort, it's true, but still worth it! I realize it will take at least 2 years before it gets anywhere near popular, but ph well, one step at a time :) Glad to have you here with us from the start of our journey! 🇯🇲 ❤️

[@AstrospiritualAtheist]

@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE I'm here as well on your journey. I thought you had about a million subscribers already, when I discovered your channel. I'm sure you will get there fast though because many Jamaicans in the diaspora, who are afraid to go back home, visit Jamaica vicariously through vloggers videos from Jamaica. Once they discover you, you channel will become very successful. I am a Jamaican living in Florida and didn't know some of the things you showed in this video. You have educated me. Most Jamaican vloggers don't showcase the things about Jamaica in all of their videos combined, that you have showcased in this one video. I had to subscribe. Can't wait to move back home. The only other channels that come close to yours are Kareem's Quest and Jamieson Daley. Jamieson don't really go in-depth like you and Kareem though. His videos are more of the cinematic type, but still highlight Jamaica on a different perspective none the less. There is a place that is almost on my doorstep in my neighborhood in Jamaica that I never heard about until I saw it in one of Kareem's videos. This is in Boscobel, right down the road from where I come from, and I didn't know about it until now. Dirt Adventure: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGq4qaWlaJKjd7s This is Jamieson's style: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imjToGCBm6moa8k

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

@@AstrospiritualAtheist Thank you so much for such a wonderful feedback! Glad you liked the video! I've just started the channel a few weeks ago and many more videos are coming up, I hope you will enjoy them :) Please share with your friends who might also find them interesting. Yes, Kareem and Jamieson are great! Jamieson's video you shared actually went quite viral here. Thank you and in touch!

@@JAMAICAWITHIRIE you are on the move if you just started a few weeks ago. Yes, right after I watched your Jamaica after covid-19 video and this one I shared them right away. Yes, I'll be watching and I'll stay in touch. Keep up the good work.

You are thorough and refreshing, almost too much so. An explorer without limits. Is there nothing you can't or won't do? I am blown away by how little I know my Jamaica. Jamaica Tourist Board simply MUST talk to you. Your ability at marketing this island is priceless.

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

Hi Steven, thank you! You always leave such kind comments for me and give so much support. I think JTB are also doing a good job, but just limited by the "official" approach they have to take, unlike bloggers - we can say anything without having to follow whatever procedure/rules :)

[@876mostvaluabletreasure2]

But, I’ve watch a video last week where some Trinis talking us Jamaicans down , bashing our economy, and how much we are poor, don’t have proper houses and life is not good in Jamaica so Jamaicans running to Trinidad for better life and comfort . So now I’m assuming you’re living your best life there.

[@ashes876]

@@876mostvaluabletreasure2 I'm not entirely sure if the last part of your comment is meant to be taken seriously or whether you're just being cheeky... One has to take the good with the bad. There are Trinis who love Jamaica and Jamaicans as much as the next person so the minority(in the case of the video you mentioned) is oftentimes not the truest representation of the whole. People are people, no matter their nationality so they will speak ill of what seems different from what they are used to or that which is foreign. This may be as a result of their biases, preconceived notions or whatever they have been fed by external sources. Trinis do it, Jamaicans do it, Americans do it...Humans do it. Doesn't make it right but🤷🏽‍♀️ But... to address to your assumption, one could say I'm living my best life here-as I would anywhere else-because life is what you make it.

[@876mostvaluabletreasure2]

Qweenash I meant no harm in my comment, out of curiosity base on what most Trinis wrote on several videos, makes me wonder if they treat Jamaicans well over there or you guys are living better there life there than in Jamaica . Trinidad is the only Caribbean island i haven’t traveled to yet. So, no offence.

[@ashes876]

@@876mostvaluabletreasure2 no offence taken. It just gets old after a while... this Trini-Jamaican love hate thing. The narrative just needs to change. Both countries are alike in so many ways it's not even funny. Like I said, you just have to take the good with the bad...and be open.

In be in Jamaica 2023 for the first time so I make sure I do some of the things you show on thus video.

[@LockePleninger]

Love your channel Irina...I've been going to JA for 40 years now and have not seen such great insights and true understanding of being a traveler there and not a tourist. Thanks for the updates on the Covid protocol, as I have a trip coming up shortly... BTW, if you have not been, go see Mark at Zimbali, about 45 minutes east of Negril and north of Little London. It's an amazing experience and certainly not to be missed. Tell him Locke says hello when you go...

[@JAMAICAWITHIRIE]

Thank you for such wonderful feedback! Yes, I've heard of Zimbali - my best friend in Jamaica invited me to go there for a cooking experience, but I didn't get to do that yet! I think they are on Airbnb Experience platform I mentioned in the video: www.airbnb.com/experiences/198904 Will tell hello from Locke when I get there :)

I am a Jamaican living overseas for some time. I am very impressed with your overall work on KZbin, this is your best so far. I would love for the Jamaica tourist to take a look at work and employ you. Thanks for what you do for one of the most beautiful country in the world.

[@mykalwagner5341]

When I was there in 2018 I went on the Luminous Lagoon, Dunn's River Falls, Black River Safari and Y.S. Falls, Chukka ATV Safari, Chukka Jeep Safari, Spirit of Reggae, and Dolphin Experience. Jamaica has now become my #1 retirement destination.

[@favouredbymycreator9032]

Am form the parish of St Thomas there you find bath fountain ( really hot sulphur water) will not burn you. Roselle falls ( water coming from the rock going into the sea) really beautiful, love your videos so far. You should do Jamaican fruits.
